Chapter 197: Upgrading a skill, Two huge beasts

According to him, the most important skill for him was Camouflage because it would not only improve his cultivation level but could also hide his bloodline.

As long as he could hide his bloodline, he could increase his strength without worrying about anything in peace.

However, he had already upgraded it to level 2 and the skill upgrade crystal in his hands was only a level 1.

So, he could not use it on Camouflage.

'System, open my skill list,'

Henrick didn't want to hurry up and use it on a skill. He wanted to see the skill first and depending on his need, he would use the skill upgrade crystal on that skill.

'Ding,

Skills

Human race:- Endurance (level 2), Camouflage (Level 2) and Comprehension (Level 1).

Ancient fire demon race:- Ancient fire surge (Level 1), Fire demon stare (Level 1), Fire demon claw (Level 1) and Demon strength (level 1).

'Oh...I don't have a single level 2 skill for the ancient fire demon race?'

Henrick was surprised that he had two level 2 skills for the human race and started thinking about which skill to upgrade.

Even though there was no level 2 skill for the fire demon race, he was not bothered about it because those skills were already good enough for him.

'Since I there is no cultivation technique for me to learn, I can exclude the Comprehension skill,'

Just thinking for a moment, he eliminated the thought of upgrading the comprehension skill because there is an alternative for him to use the small comprehension pill.

'Damn it...I  feel like upgrading all the skills from the fire demon section,'

Henrick was unable to decide on a single skill because to him every skill seemed important.

First, the ancient fire surge, since he is now an energy condensation realm cultivator, he could officially become the beast tamer. So, that skill would help him tame the beasts.

Not only new beasts, but the upgraded ancient fire surge could also help Spark and Ruby.

'Demon strength is another good option to upgrade since it is a passive skill that could increase my offence and defence,'

Henrick continued to think for a few moments before selecting the 'Demon strength'.

'System upgrade the demon strength to level 2,'

Soon, he ordered the system to upgrade fearing that he might change his decision.

'Ding,

Upgrading the skill 'Demon strength' from level 1 to level 2.

'Ding,

If there is any pain, please bear it.

As soon as he ordered the system, two system notifications rang in his head; however, there was no pain that made him thank his level 2 endurance skill.

'Ding,

Skill 'Demon Strength' upgraded to level 2.

'Ding,

Skill name:- Demon strength (Level 2)

Skill type:- Passive

Effect:- Increases both the offence and defence of the user by three times of his original strength.

Soon, the upgraded notification came along with the information on the skill.

Just as the system notifications appeared, Henrick felt like his power was rising inside his body.

'Oh. Three times my original strength. Haha,'

Finally, after seeing the information on the upgraded skill, Henrickstarted laughing as he was satisfied with the upgrade.

"I need to find more skill crystals. Buying them in the soul store is too costly,"

Henrick thought of buying the skill upgrade crystals in the soul store to upgrade his other skills in the future; however, thinking about the price made him instantly reject that thought.

"I need to find a level 2 skill upgrade crystal for my Camouflage skill. Anyway, I will think about a way to gather that upgrade crystal after going out of this treasure land,"

Henrick stopped thinking about the skill upgrade crystal and picked the little spirit fox before coming out of the small cave through the tunnel.

"Since this is an immortal cultivator's treasure land, there would be much better rewards than a level 1 skill upgrade crystal,"

Henrick felt like getting a level 1 skill upgrade crystal is not a big thing in a treasure land created by an important cultivator. So, he chose a specific direction and started searching for treasures and at the same time kept an eye for his friends.

…..

At some other place,

"Damn it...how the hell did they break through to level 2 and level 3 of the energy condensation realm as soon as they entered the treasure land,"

Nick, the outer sect disciple of the blazing inferno sect was running at an incredible speed as though he was escaping from someone and thought in his head.

Behind them, two young cultivators in azure green coloured robes were chasing after him.

They were none other than the outer sect disciples of the bizarre Zephyr sect.

Unlike Henrick, Nick was teleported somewhat closer to those cultivators. Just after appearing in the treasure land, they were grouped together by who knows what means and started chasing after Nick.

Moreover, the most important thing was after they grouped together, their cultivation raised from level 1 energy condensation realm to level 2 and level 3 energy condensation realm making things more difficult for Nick.

'I need to find any one of them. So that, I can fight back,'

Even though his cultivation was only at level 1 energy condensation realm, Nick's speed was high enough that he was able to maintain a specific distance from his chasers; however, he knew that he could not run forever because his dantian was smaller than them.

So, he thought of finding one of his friends as he has confidence in fighting one of the two chasers without any problem.

"Tyze, his speed is comparably same to us,"

Emerson said to his friend with an enraged tone.

"Let him run. I must be using awakened skill or some secret technique. However, he could not outrun because our dantians are a little bigger than him,"

Tyze replied back as they continued to chase after Nick.

"Then what about the treasure? If we waste our time chasing after him, it would be wasting a great chance,"

Emerson worried about not getting any treasures from the treasure land.

"As long as we kill one of the disciples from the blazing inferno sect, Sect leader Aedan would give us more cultivation resources to reach the Master realm. So, don't worry,"

Tyze convinced Emerson and asked him to focus on chasing Nick.

….

As for others, they were searching for treasures unlike the disciples of the bizarre zephyr sect. As long as they find one good item, it would change their fate. So, they were very serious about finding one or two treasures in the treasure land.

'Roar'

'Crr'

'Growls'

After running in a specific direction, Henrick found two huge beasts in a crevice.

From time to time, they would roar or growl as though they were indicating the participants of the treasure land to notice that there is some treasure in the crevice.

'Four armed stone monkey'

'Twin-tailed fire cat,'

Henrick was carefully and slowly looked into the crevice to find out their names.

'Both the beasts have mid-level rank 3 strength which is equivalent to level 5 of the energy condensation realm,'

Henrick knew that he could not win by fighting head-on. So, he started thinking of a plan to kill the beasts and get the treasure they were guarding.
